Disclosed is a device for adjusting an optical fiber (1) or an optical fiber bundle relative to a coupling point. Said device comprises a holding apparatus (2) for the fiber/s (1) and a mechanism (3) for positioning the fiber/s (1) in said holding apparatus (2). The positioning mechanism (3) is provided with at least two positioning members (4) which act upon the fiber/s (1) at different angles, the position of the fiber/s (1) relative to the holding apparatus (2) being modifiable by actuating said at least two positioning members (4). The inventive device is characterized in that the positioning members (4) which are effective at different angles are disposed next to each other in the holding apparatus (2) in order to be actuated from one side while at least one of the positioning members (4) acts upon the fiber/s (1) via a lever assembly (5).
An apparatus for adjusting an optical fiber or an optical fiber bundle relative to a coupling point, having a holding device for the fiber/fibers and a positioning mechanism for positioning the fiber/fibers in the holding device, the positioning mechanism comprising at least two positioning members that act on the fiber/fibers at different angles and can, by being actuated, vary the position of the fiber/fibers relative to the holding device, wherein the positioning members acting at different angles are arranged next to one another in the holding device in order to be actuated from one side, and at least one of the positioning members acts on the fiber/fibers via a lever arrangement.
